    Native mobile or native desktop? The former is relatively easy, at least for Android. React and Angular both have very good Material UI libraries. But making a PWA feel like a native desktop app is hard. There's a reason most Electron apps adopt their own unique theme. I've never seen a component library that fully replicates a desktop UI without feeling like a web app, not even Microsoft's own Fluent UI web components.

    Depends on what you mean by "native". Like do you mean same look and feel, or just launch and performance?
